I made this quilt last winter from a BOM on the web. Unfortunately they quit submitting blocks with only one to go and no instructions for putting it together. Asked a friend and she helped me decide the final layout, even though I had to add two more rows. Asked my son if he would want it and he said "YES, it would make a great couch throw for he and his girlfriend". So I finished it. The back is flannel and quilted at the LQS.

Back with quilting.

Beautiful. WOW and you finished without instructions. Great job!!! How frustrating that must have been for you. It turned out great.

Looks really GOOD!!! I love the colors!

GREAT WORK!

A big thumbs up to you, for finishing without any instructions, it could so easily have been left and that would have been a real shame, as it has turned out lovely!!

:D :D :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :D

Beautiful! And Kitty approved :wink:

babeegirl, Yes. It was very easy. Had Home Depot cut the wood for me. Drilled holes in it where I wanted the buttons (two holes for each). Covered it with 1/2 inch foam, batting, then the fabric. Covered the buttons and used fishing line to tie them in the back.

Very nice save on the quilt! And its kitty approved...so great job! I love the colors you chose and you did great on the final layout.

I love your colors--very soothing. :D

That is so beautiful. I think you are going to have trouble giving it to your DS. Someone else wants it by the looks of it.

bluebird 12-09-2008 06:30 PM

Beautiful, wonderful pattern and color choices. :D

jacquemoe 12-09-2008 06:57 PM

Too pretty to give away. Looks too good on your bed. Buy him a throw!

reneebobby 12-11-2008 06:33 AM

Nice job but i think the cat wants it.

Bevanger 12-11-2008 07:19 AM

That's beautiful :D

Marcia 12-12-2008 08:11 PM

I love your fabrics. Great quilt--you did a wonderful job finishing it with no instructions.

MsSage 12-12-2008 10:53 PM

Very nice. I know I couldnt have finished it without directions. You did a awesome job.
Would be worried if kitty didnt approve.

Boston1954 12-13-2008 09:01 PM

Isn't it funny how the kitty cats always seem to take over when they see a quilt. I love the colors. Nice and quiet.

Evelynquilts 12-13-2008 09:12 PM

beautiful :-)

kd124 12-13-2008 11:41 PM

Awesome!!

sandybeach 12-15-2008 08:39 AM

Thanks everyone so much. :D I was afraid to show it off at the quilt guild as those women make such beautiful quilts. Way out of my league.

But I am happy with it and I know he will cherish it.
